Wonton Soup
Quick and easy to make wonton soup.
Ingredients
- 1 package wonton wrappers
- 1/2 pound of ground pork
- 1/4 cup minced onion
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce I prefer low sodium
- Fresh ground ginger to taste about 1 teaspoon or so
- Pepper to taste
- 4 cups of beef broth
- 4 cups of water
- 1-2 tablespoon of beef "better than bouillion"
Instructions
- In a medium mixing bowl combine the ground pork, minced onion, oyster sauce, egg, soy sauce, ginger, and pepper. Mix until incorporated and set aside.
- In a large soup pot, combine beef broth, water and 1 tablespoon of the beef bouillion. Bring to a simmer and taste for flavor. If you would like a deeper, beefy flavor add an additional tablespoon of beef bouillion.
- While the broth is coming to a simmer fill your wonton wrappers with a heaping 1/2 teaspoon of filling and seal. (See the video below.)
- After tasting the broth, gently drop in the finished wontons. The wontons will cook in just a few minutes and will float to the top when finished.
- Serve the soup in bowls and garnish with sliced green onion. If you have any wonton wrappers leftover, you can cut them into strips and lightly fry them. Drain and sprinkle over the soup for an added crunch.
Notes
Note: Wontons freeze great! Lay prepared, uncooked wontons on a cookie sheet and place in the freezer until firm. Place the wontons in a freezer bag and store for up to three months. When desired, drop a few wontons into simmering broth and cook them from frozen until they float!
